Date: ________ Subject:______ 7 - DE Website Document Climate and Climate Change Climate and Factors that affect it Name:_____________ Section:_________ E.ES.07.13 – Describe how the warming of Earth by the Sun produces winds and ocean currents. E.ES.07.71 - Compare and contrast the difference and relationship between climate and weather. E.Es.07.72 – Describe how different weather occurs due to the constant motion of the atmosphere from the energy of the Sun reaching the surface of Earth. E.ES.07.73 – Explain how the temperature of the oceans affects the different climates on Earth because water in the oceans holds a large amount of heat. E.ES.07.74 - Describe weather conditions associated with frontal boundaries (cold, warm, stationary, and occluded) and the movement of major air masses and the jet stream across North America using a weather map. Day 1 Prior Knowledge Engage: With a shoulder partner answer the following questions. How are climate and weather similar and how are they different?__________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ How and why is Earth constantly changing?__________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ What regulates weather and climate? ________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ Essential questions: Write the 3 essential questions for this Concept: Meteorology Prior knowledge: Independently write and answer the Essential Questions for the concept Climate and Factors that Affect it (found on the right side of the DE website screen labeled Questions) 1. ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ 2. ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ 1 3. ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ ________________________________________________________________________________ Day 2 Discuss the following items with your shoulder partner: Describe the summer and winter climate for Goodrich, Michigan__________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ What factors contribute to this climate?______________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ Describe the summer and winter climate for another place on Earth and describe the factors that contribute to the climate___________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ ______________________________________________________________________________________ Whiteboard: With your group whiteboard the following: Come up with a tourism advertisement for the region that the teacher has assigned for you.

Explore: Watch the video – Climate Review Explore, Explore more resources: Watch the video – Weather Smart: Climate With a shoulder partner discuss the difference between weather and climate. Explain – Place the following words into the Venn diagram below that differentiates (shows similarities and differences) weather and climate. Clouds Wind speed moisture precipitation amount of rainfall per year air temperature seasons Weather dew point Climate What affects Climate? Recall that there are several things we talked about that affect weather. What are they? __________________________ _____________________________ __________________________ _____________________________ __________________________ _____________________________ __________________________ _____________________________ 7th Grade Science 3 Day 4 Explore: Oceans and Convection Currents (also on the bottom of the Explore tab with links) Choose from the resources listed below to answer the essential questions in your science journal. Be prepared to use evidence from what you read, hear and see to support your answers. You will not need to use all the resources, but you will likely need to review more than one to find the information you need. Be prepared to share your conclusions.
